Does the APR Catback Exhaust for MK2 Tiguan FWD fit 4Motion models?

No. APR states that this Catback Exhaust for MK2 Tiguan fits only the front-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase Tiguan. All-wheel-drive 4Motion Tiguans take a separate APR system, so confirm the drivetrain on the window sticker or registration of the vehicle before ordering. The two systems are not interchangeable.

Can anyone see that the APR exhaust is fitted?

Not from behind. The system ends in a hidden 3 inch exit in the same place as the factory outlet, so the rear of the Tiguan looks standard. What changes is the sound: a deeper, more confident growl from the turbocharged four-cylinder under acceleration.

Will the APR Tiguan FWD exhaust drone on the highway?

APR tuned the brushed straight-through muffler to deepen the note without adding restriction, rasp or drone. That keeps the Tiguan calm on long highway drives with a full load, while still giving the engine more presence than the factory system when accelerating.

Is the APR Tiguan exhaust heavier than the factory system?

No. APR states the system is lighter than the factory exhaust despite its larger 3 inch tubing. T304 stainless steel with TIG welding throughout keeps the walls thin and the system durable against road salt and moisture over many years.

How long does the APR Tiguan FWD exhaust take to install?

APR describes it as a direct bolt-on that is easy to install, using Torca T304 slip clamps and precise brackets on the factory mounting points. A shop with a lift can fit it quickly, and a capable owner can do it at home with safe stands and hand tools.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for MK2 Volkswagen Tiguan FWD

APR’s Catback Exhaust for MK2 Volkswagen Tiguan FWD is made for the front-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase Tiguan, the version most families drive every day. It replaces the factory catback with full 3 inch mandrel-bent T304 stainless tubing and a brushed straight-through muffler that brings out a deeper growl from the 2.0 TSI without rasp or drone, and it weighs less than the part it replaces. The hidden 3 inch exit keeps the clean rear of the vehicle exactly as Volkswagen styled it, which makes this a quiet confidence upgrade rather than a statement.

Design and Performance

Torca T304 slip clamps and strong brackets locate the system on the factory mounting points, so it fits precisely and comes off just as easily. The tubing is larger in diameter than the factory pipe, and the low-profile route keeps it out of harm on a lowered Tiguan as well as a standard one.

Brushed straight-through muffler
Hidden 3 inch exit in the factory position

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
